No interest in the lineup or Stadia, but maybe Cyberpunk 2077 will get a proper Linux release. Yeah right, as if.

It seems to be a very nice game all around. Too bad I only get a fraction of the references in there.
I like the devs (from the end of their stream yesterday) https://clips.twitch.tv/SparklingJoyousBorkBlargNaut [External Link]

It's out, for Linux and on GOG as well. Looks really good so far.

Thanks! Interesting read.

Not at all surprised, I expect that to be the tip of the iceberg. DEs tend to focus on snazzy wallpapers more than anything else.

Oh I don't think it was available on itch last time I checked, thanks!

It seems to be somewhat incomplete, apparently some included games depend on Steam.

It used to be a kickstarter [External Link] -- now the pdfs & audio visual files & the flash games are on Steam [External Link] for free.

Zach Barth spoke about this release at the latest GDC -- link to youtube [External Link].

I might want to find a download link for this PDF, since it's Steam-only for a free content, it's a pity.

Quoting: SmilexEveryone behind what is Blender today put in an immense effort to get this far. It's such an impressive project.
The recent UI changes are impressive, and even more so because it is not often that open source projects manage to do overhauls of any of their big systems, like the entire UI.
I personally use Blender as my video editing tool.

How in practice does Blender compare with say, OpenShot, Kdenlive or Lightworks in the day to day simple video editing?

Should anyone interested give it a go as a daily driver you think?

Last I checked (at least half a year ago) it was existent but not great. Well, better than OpenShot, which is a very low hurdle that is overcome by working at all.
The UI takes some getting used to, maybe less if you are already familiar with Blender.
Editing seemed rather powerful due to what's already there. Exporting was single threaded only and took ages, unless you used some ugly hacks which likely break stuff (let multiple Blender instances render parts of the video and stitch it together using ffmpeg).
I have no experience with Lightworks.
KDEnlive is the best I found on Linux so far. Unfortunately it pulls in most of the KDE desktop.

EDIT: Pretty sure it was 2.70, 2.80 comes with a preset video editing view that looks nice and usable off the bat. Haven't tried it yet though.

I wrote a little review which you can find here: https://www.codingcommanders.com/linux-gaming/desktop-games/steamworld-quest-hand-of-gilgamech.html [External Link]
